I have always wanted to be involved in the music business in some way. I have been “trying” to play guitar for a LONG time now.  As much fun as this is I am never going to do anything other then just have fun with it. So, I have decided to try and combine my 20+ years of computer expertise with music by building a home recording studio! This project will take me most of the summer to put together.   I have put together a list of gear that I want to get for the first pass at this.

TASCAM FW-1082 10-Channel FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface   599.00

Musicians Gear TASCAM Monitor and Mic Package A  249.99

MXL MXL-90 Microphone Shockmount   38.99

Musicians Gear Mesh Microphone Grille   6.99

ProLine Universal Microphone Clip   4.99

I will be combining all this with Cakewalk Sonar 8.  Once I have all the gear purchased and setup I will post pic’s as well as more updates as I learn the home recording process.

El Paso, Texas is closer to Los Angeles on the Pacific Coast than it is to Port Arthur on Gulf Coast of Texas. Port Arthur, on the other hand, is closer to Jacksonville, Florida on the Atlantic Coast than it is to El Paso.
